The seas and oceans evaporate constantly. The evaporated water condenses into clouds to cause rainfall over oceans and land. Rivers carry water back to the oceans.
The atmosphere can only hold a small percentage of the world's water at a time, so there is no danger of oceans drying up, but smaller bodies of water can dry up. If an area has no replenishment by rain or stream flow, it will eventually become desert as in Death Valley for example or, if evaporation exceeds inflow, a brine sea forms, as in the Great Salt Lake.
Not all the water is recycled this way! About 4% of the earth's water is held as ice in the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers. As glaciers grow, ocean levels must drop and vice-versa.
Since the average depth of the oceans is (according to the oceanographers) about 4000 m, it follows that if all the glacier ice melted, the ocean depth would increase by 4000m x .04 = about 160 metres. Of course, the continents do not have 160 m high ocean cliffs, so water would spread out over low lands. An 80 metre overall rise is a bandied figure. Well worth further study.
Because the oceans and seas cover such a large proportion of the Earth's surface, over 70%, large scale evaporation is able to occur
When the sea becomes hot
fresh water doesnt have salt so it doesnt take as long to have the salt evaporate
the undersea volcanoes.
Boil it. The water will evaporate, leaving salt at the bottom of the pot, which did not evaporate and was left behind.
Water evaporate faster at higher elevations.
The heat from the sun causes sea water to evaporate
When the sea becomes hot
Yes. That is why chlorine doesnt last long
right coiner
Yes, surface sea water is evaporated.

Primarily, from the sun.
Evaporate and condense off the water.
nobecause if it doesnt evaporate it has no way to come down
it doesnt need to be that close but not that far ehtier.
The vapour pressure is different.
